I am not represented by any other constituency or stakeholder group. They won't have me. I have been refused membership by both the registry constituency and by the business constituency. I am not non-commercial, so I don't fit in the NCUC; I am not an ISP, so no going there; the IPC is unfriendly, to say the least. Which significant, well-established ICANN venue am I supposed to be part of? In fact, the only venue open to me is my regional association in ALAC. Why not listen to arguments on their merit instead of trying to exclude people? Antony On Mar 29, 2011, at 9:34 AM, Beau Brendler wrote:
In answer to the second part of Avri's question: With all due respect for Antony and Richard, both are CEO/executive-level at for-profit registries and engaged in business development for their companies. Registries are amply represented by other constituencies in ICANN. They hardly need NARALO to get their points across as "individual Internet users."
I would go so far to suggest that NARALO and ALAC spend their valuable volunteer time engaging and working with the user community to make sure its point of view, which is not tied to corporate profits, is heard, and let registry and registrar executives use the significant, well-established ICANN venues for their agendas.

Hi,
does this meant the RALO's will do a quick vote on the ALAC scorecard position? Or will an ALAC vote be enough. Or is the sort of this that the ExecutiveCommittee can take care of?
Also, couldn't either of the two gentleman join their respective RALO as individuals even if they had the opportunity to be observers in a GNSO constituency?
with kind regards, a.

In the meantime, let's first see if there's even interest in principle about any of the "impossible" things we're asking for before sinking substantial volunteer time into the details.
